Good vs Evil

Whenever I think of a good vs evil situation, tiny figures on a person's shoulders come to mind. One is wearing white clothing and perches on the person while instructing them to do the right thing. On the other shoulder, the figure is wearing a red suit with a black tie and are attempting to peer pressure the person into what appears to be wrong. I don't believe that there is an ongoing battle between good and evil, I have always understood this as people make certain decisions based on specific situations. The reason that people are displayed in the news as inherently bad usually means they committed one harmful act. It doesn't have to mean they did bad things their entire life. The same ting goes for people who are displayed in the media as inherently good. the could have done many bad things in their past.
The answer is choice. Every person makes a choice before they are faced with a situation that requires a definitive solution. Yes it is true that some may be more hardcore situations than others, but nevertheless, the media can very easily cast a positive or negative light on a person and make them appear radical on either end of the moral spectrum.
one reason why I feel negatives are commonly portrayed in the news is because believe it or not, it receives more attention and that is a sad truth. People have a much more emotional reaction to shockingly bad situations that they are drawn in and want to investigate further. its not a battle of good vs evil , but instead a matter of choices based on specific factors.
